Chapter 283 How to Solve Lunch

The weather was very good today, just like everyone's mood. A group of people gathered at home, laughing and talking, the atmosphere was very lively! Near noon, bursts of fragrance came from the kitchen, and Old Lady Yang was busy preparing lunch with Xiao Cao. Qi Xingyun and Zheng Huaming stayed here leisurely.

While Old Lady Yang and Xiao Cao'er were cooking in the kitchen, Zheng Huaming seized the opportunity and quickly approached Qi Xingyun. He lowered his voice and said, "Hey, brother, you are willing to leave your comfortable fiefdom this time? Not only that, but you even personally came out to inspect the industry. This is really the sun rising from the west!

Why haven't you been so diligent in the past? Even when I asked you to help me check or look at the account books, you always refused. But now you are so proactive. Tell me the truth. Do you really want to check the industry, or do you have other purposes, such as taking this opportunity to take Old Lady Yang out for a trip?"

Hearing this, Qi Xingyun was stunned at first, then rolled his eyes at Zheng Huaming, and said with a slight smile: "Hmph, what do you think? Do I need to tell you in person?" He had a slightly mysterious expression.

"In my opinion, you are most likely here to lure Xiaocao to the capital. Besides, the New Year is just around the corner. It looks like you definitely want to keep them in the capital to celebrate the New Year together.

You are already quite old, and it took a lot of effort to arrange a marriage. I guess you are going for that fat boy. After all, you have been waiting for more than ten years. It is naturally the best to settle this marriage now. Otherwise, if you delay any further, someone else might snatch her away. "The more Zheng Huaming thought about it, the more he felt that what he said made sense.

Old guy Qi Xingyun has been attracted to Xiaocao'er since she was little. He is a whole generation older than Xiaocao'er. Isn't he worried that Xiaocao'er will look down on him and despise him for being too old when she grows up?

"Stop talking nonsense." Qi Xingyun said this calmly without changing his expression.

When Zheng Huaming saw his reaction, he burst into laughter. He patted Qi Xingyun's shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, I'm just kidding! But seriously, you should really think about your marriage. Xiao Cao'er is really good. We watched her grow up. She is kind and sensible, and she is also very hardworking and capable. If you two are a perfect match, you are really a perfect match."

Qi Xingyun was secretly happy when he heard this, but on the surface he pretended not to care and said, "Let things take their own course."

At this time, Old Lady Yang and Xiao Caoer came out of the kitchen and called everyone to eat. Everyone sat around the table, enjoying the delicious food, talking and laughing, and having a great time.

A thought suddenly flashed through Xiao Cao'er's mind, and she thought of her elder brother who worked in the Hanlin Academy. She couldn't help but wonder how her elder brother solved the important problem of lunch every day.

So, she asked Zheng Huaming, who was sitting opposite her and eating with gusto, with a puzzled look on her face: "Brother Huaming, how do you, the people on duty, arrange your lunch? Do you go home to eat, or do you ask your family to bring it to you?"

Zheng Huaming, his mouth bulging with food, answered vaguely: "Well... well, there are all kinds of situations. It depends on how each family arranges it! Some people will rush home to eat after the lunch break; some families will deliver the meals to the yamen; of course, there are also some people who like to go to restaurants outside to eat." After saying that, he shoveled another mouthful of rice into his mouth.

Xiao Cao'er blinked her big watery eyes and continued to ask, "Then do you know how my eldest brother usually prepares lunch?"

Zheng Huaming swallowed the food in his mouth, shook his head helplessly, and explained: "Oh, sister, I really don't know. Your elder brother and I don't work in the same government office, how can I know his specific situation?" Then, he skillfully picked up a piece of fragrant braised pork with chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, and added, "But if you really want to find out, then wait for your elder brother to come back in the evening and ask him in person."

After hearing this, Xiao Cao nodded obediently and expressed her agreement: "Well, it seems that this is the only way." At this moment, she had made up her mind that as soon as her eldest brother came home in the evening, she would immediately grab him and ask him clearly.

After dinner, everyone chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Old Lady Yang asked everyone to go back and rest. Qi Xingyun and Zheng Huaming also stood up and said goodbye.

After the two left, Xiao Cao'er helped Old Lady Yang clean up the dishes.
